Where the World Comes to Play

At the Center of It All

This summer, New York moves to a global rhythm—and The Fifth Avenue Hotel is at the center of it all. From our Fifth Avenue address, we offer art-filled rooms and expansive suites paired with dedicated butler service, creating an easy home base for days shaped by soccer match schedules and nights spent out in the city.
Between World Cup games, we welcome guests back to dining by James Beard Award–winning Chef Andrew Carmellini, globally inspired cocktails at The Portrait Bar, and the comfort of having details handled, from transportation planning to MetLife Stadium to last-minute reservations. With thoughtful amenities, intuitive service, and a central location, the energy of the season carries well beyond the stadium.
The world comes to play. The Fifth makes New York feel like home.
